marks 1t was decided to call the body
assembled The Gibson County Fine
Stock Association" Capt. A. W.
Loving, S. Fl. Hale and r. F. Haun
were appointed as a committee to
draft by'laws. The membership fee
was fixed at s1.OO, a very small
amount and every stock raiser in Glib
son county can afford to become
member. Twenty>thres names were
enrolled as active members, and Mai.
hOrd and Capt. Morton were elected
as honorary members. Both these
gentlemen rendered valuable aid in
helping to organize the association
aud which was highly appreciated by
the members. This is a step in the
right direction and every stock raiser
In the county should become a mems
ber of it. We hope to see the day
when Gibson county will rank 6rst in
fine stock raising.

Temperance Alliance.

A large crowd gathered at Primary
Hall last Thursday night for the pur-
pose of organizing a temperance ALI.
ance. Capt. A. w. Loving was
chosen as temporary chairman. 1t
was decided by the house that before
organizing the alliance that some gem
tlemen should address the people on
the prohibition issue. Rev. w. M.
Robson responded and made e,sRiling
speech, which was loudly applauded
throughout. The anti-prohibitionists
were then given chance to make a
speech, when MIR. V. l.. Ware made
a few remarks. The house was then
called to order by chairman Loving
for the purpose of slecting officers.
By motion Capt. A. w. Loving was
elected pres, R. F. Haun vice pres,
H. w. Loving sec., Jno. NJ. Dickson
asst ses., and John Coulter treas.
Eighty names were enrolled us mem
bers and great many more will join
in few days. The alliance promises
to do noble work for the cause of pro.
bibitiOn in this city. We only know
of few in this town who are apposed
to the amendment and it is thought
by many that before September rolls
around that they will join the side Of
the right, and work for the down.
throw of whisky. Let us all work for
the cause of prohibition, not only
work for il, but vote it forever and
eternalIy out of the state. Let us
put our shoulders to the wheel and
bathe the axle with our very hearts
blood, if needs be, for the cause OF
temperance.

speak cheerfully, " only this time have
broken my leg and my nose, and perhaps
it will be warning to me-"
Poor Geoff could say no more, for a
faintness came over him. They carried
him indoors, and sent for the doctor, who
soon set his broken leg and plastered his
nose. He had to lie in bed several
weeks, and during that time, he learned
several lessons in gentleness. His moth
er's touch was so soft that it soothed his
pain. His fathers hand rested SO light
ly upon him that it never hurt him. And
his brothers and sisters, sorry for bis suf-
fering, set him beautiful example. He
had time to think and he thought to
some purpose; for when he grew we'll
and strong there was a great change
manifested in him. He had been taught
how to use his hands, and he is in fair
way Of exhibiting in his own life that
most beautiful mingling of strength and
gentleness which helps to make a really
noble and useful character Illustrated

THE LOST PAPA.

The following true story is sent to
Bdbyhood by correspondent in Rhode
Island. Three little children rode down
to the station with papa, who was going
"to town" for family supplies Papa
had always worn heavy whiskers and
mustache. He visited the barber and
came home with closely cropped locks
and close trimmed mustache only. The
loss of his luxuriant beard actually trans
formed him, SO that his "best friend "
would scarcely have known him. The
children, being accustomed to strangers,
chatted with him on his return; and
nothing strange was noticed until they
began to worry lest papa was not coming
home that night
"Why, papa has come home," said
mamma in wondering tones.
"Why don't he come in the house,"
"Why, he has been in. Don't you re-
member he brought some peanuts?"
"That gentleman? That's company"
In vain mamma explained; and when
papa came into the house again, he was
told the children's grief at his non-re-
turn. He tried TO convince them, but it
was not possible. The positive temper
ament they had inherited from him was
not to be argued with successfully.
Gravely they noticed that he had actual
ly received all papa's privileges and
seemed scandalized that he put them to
bed, and occupied papa's room, and
waited on them inst as papa used to dol
Gradually they fell into the habit OF
calling him papa, but to them be was the
new papa" and they sadly wondered
for months it the " old papa" who "went
TO town" would never, never come home
any more.

EDWARD EVERETTS'S POLITE
NESS

Politeness is always mark OF good
breeding, and some of the greatest men
have been noted for their courtesy. Many
of them have owed the popularity that
was a recognition Of their greatness, in
no small measure to their consideration
of others. The following is related of the
late Edward Everett: Many years ago,
the errand boy employed by publish
ing house in great city was sent to
procure from Edward Everett the proof
sheets OF book which he had been ex-
aiming. The boy entered the vast libra
ry, lined from floor to ceiling with books
in fear and trembling; he stood in awe of
the famous man, and dreaded to meet
him. But Mr.. Everett, turning from the
desk where he was writing, received the
boy with reaseuring courtesy, babe him
sit down, chatted kindly as he looked for
the proof sheets, and asked: "Shall put
paper around them for you?" IS polite
ly as if bis visitor was the president. The
boy departed in very comfortable frame
of mind. He had been raised in his own
esteem by Mr.. Evereit's kindness, and
has never forgotten the lesson it taught
him,
